Social Housing disrepair issues have come into the spotlight recently after a child died from exposure to damp and mould. There social landlord failed to do anything about these issues after numerous complaints. Since these issues have gathered national attention. We have had over a 200% increase to the traffic to our website from social housing tenants looking to seek help and possibly make a housing disrepair claim for their own unresolved disrepair issues. It is important to note that making a housing disrepair claim is a last resort. You should go through your social landlords correct complaints procedure before seeking legal assistance to get your home repaired and compensation.

Over the last several years we have helped council and housing association tenants get justice for the issues they have faced. Some of the tenants we have spoken to have not only waited months but years for work to be carried out to their home. No tenant should suffer at the hands of their landlord and put themselves and their families at risk

We have made it our mission from the outset to hold rogue landlords accountable for their actions or in this case inaction. As a tenant you shouldn’t be scared of raising a complaint against your landlord to get work carried out to your home within a reasonable time scale.

A quick reminder that we are open seven days a week up until the 23rd of December when we close down for a few days to enjoy the Christmas break.

This is one week in 52 weeks where big wigs from the social housing and compliance sector talk about safety and compliance at an operational, strategic and cultural level. Are we the only ones that find this disgraceful! Thousands of tenants everyday are dealing with disrepair issues and neglect at the hands of their social landlords. Surely this warrants more than a week. These issues need to be addressed and the people in charge held accountable. People can talk until they are blue in the face but when will they take action to make sure you and your family live in a safe home free of issues and neglect.
